Raw Blame History

Checkpoint 3: Search & Sync MVP

Note: The project was renamed from "gitlab-inbox" to "gitlore" and the CLI from "gi" to "lore". References to "gi" in this document should be read as "lore".

Status: Planning Prerequisite: Checkpoints 0, 1, 2 complete (issues, MRs, discussions ingested) Goal: Deliver working semantic + lexical hybrid search with efficient incremental sync

This checkpoint consolidates SPEC.md checkpoints 3A, 3B, 4, and 5 into a unified implementation plan. The work is structured for parallel agent execution where dependencies allow.

All code integrates with existing gitlore infrastructure:

Error handling via GiError and ErrorCode in src/core/error.rs
CLI patterns matching src/cli/commands/*.rs (run functions, JSON/human output)
Database via rusqlite::Connection with migrations in migrations/
Config via src/core/config.rs (EmbeddingConfig already defined)
Robot mode JSON with {"ok": true, "data": {...}} pattern

Executive Summary

Deliverables:

Document generation from issues/MRs/discussions with FTS5 indexing
Ollama-powered embedding pipeline with sqlite-vec storage
Hybrid search (RRF-ranked vector + lexical) with rich filtering
Orchestrated gi sync command with incremental re-embedding

Key Design Decisions:

Documents are the search unit (not raw entities)
FTS5 works standalone when Ollama unavailable (graceful degradation)
sqlite-vec rowid = documents.id for simple joins
RRF ranking avoids score normalization complexity
Queue-based discussion fetching isolates failures
FTS5 query sanitization prevents syntax errors from user input
Exponential backoff on all queues prevents hot-loop retries
Transient embed failures trigger graceful degradation (not hard errors)

Phase 1: Schema Foundation

1.1 Documents Schema (Migration 007)

File: migrations/007_documents.sql

-- Unified searchable documents (derived from issues/MRs/discussions)
CREATE TABLE documents (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  source_type TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (source_type IN ('issue','merge_request','discussion')),
  source_id INTEGER NOT NULL,    -- local DB id in the source table
  project_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES projects(id),
  author_username TEXT,          -- for discussions: first note author
  label_names TEXT,              -- JSON array (display/debug only)
  created_at INTEGER,            -- ms epoch UTC
  updated_at INTEGER,            -- ms epoch UTC
  url TEXT,
  title TEXT,                    -- null for discussions
  content_text TEXT NOT NULL,    -- canonical text for embedding/search
  content_hash TEXT NOT NULL,    -- SHA-256 for change detection
  labels_hash TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',  -- SHA-256 over sorted labels (write optimization)
  paths_hash TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',   -- SHA-256 over sorted paths (write optimization)
  is_truncated INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  truncated_reason TEXT CHECK (
    truncated_reason IN ('token_limit_middle_drop','single_note_oversized','first_last_oversized')
    OR truncated_reason IS NULL
  ),
  UNIQUE(source_type, source_id)
);

CREATE INDEX idx_documents_project_updated ON documents(project_id, updated_at);
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_author ON documents(author_username);
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_source ON documents(source_type, source_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_documents_hash ON documents(content_hash);

-- Fast label filtering (indexed exact-match)
CREATE TABLE document_labels (
  document_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES documents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  label_name TEXT NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY(document_id, label_name)
) WITHOUT ROWID;
CREATE INDEX idx_document_labels_label ON document_labels(label_name);

-- Fast path filtering (DiffNote file paths)
CREATE TABLE document_paths (
  document_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES documents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  path TEXT NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY(document_id, path)
) WITHOUT ROWID;
CREATE INDEX idx_document_paths_path ON document_paths(path);

-- Queue for incremental document regeneration (with retry tracking)
-- Uses next_attempt_at for index-friendly backoff queries
CREATE TABLE dirty_sources (
  source_type TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (source_type IN ('issue','merge_request','discussion')),
  source_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
  queued_at INTEGER NOT NULL,    -- ms epoch UTC
  attempt_count INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  last_attempt_at INTEGER,
  last_error TEXT,
  next_attempt_at INTEGER,       -- ms epoch UTC; NULL means ready immediately
  PRIMARY KEY(source_type, source_id)
);
CREATE INDEX idx_dirty_sources_next_attempt ON dirty_sources(next_attempt_at);

-- Resumable queue for dependent discussion fetching
-- Uses next_attempt_at for index-friendly backoff queries
CREATE TABLE pending_discussion_fetches (
  project_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES projects(id),
  noteable_type TEXT NOT NULL,            -- 'Issue' | 'MergeRequest'
  noteable_iid INTEGER NOT NULL,
  queued_at INTEGER NOT NULL,             -- ms epoch UTC
  attempt_count INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  last_attempt_at INTEGER,
  last_error TEXT,
  next_attempt_at INTEGER,                -- ms epoch UTC; NULL means ready immediately
  PRIMARY KEY(project_id, noteable_type, noteable_iid)
);
CREATE INDEX idx_pending_discussions_next_attempt ON pending_discussion_fetches(next_attempt_at);

Acceptance Criteria:

Migration applies cleanly on fresh DB
Migration applies cleanly after CP2 schema
All foreign keys enforced
Indexes created
labels_hash and paths_hash columns present for write optimization
next_attempt_at indexed for efficient backoff queries

1.2 FTS5 Index (Migration 008)

File: migrations/008_fts5.sql

-- Full-text search with porter stemmer and prefix indexes for type-ahead
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE documents_fts USING fts5(
  title,
  content_text,
  content='documents',
  content_rowid='id',
  tokenize='porter unicode61',
  prefix='2 3 4'
);

-- Keep FTS in sync via triggers
CREATE TRIGGER documents_ai AFTER INSERT ON documents BEGIN
  INSERT INTO documents_fts(rowid, title, content_text)
  VALUES (new.id, new.title, new.content_text);
END;

CREATE TRIGGER documents_ad AFTER DELETE ON documents BEGIN
  INSERT INTO documents_fts(documents_fts, rowid, title, content_text)
  VALUES('delete', old.id, old.title, old.content_text);
END;

-- Only rebuild FTS when searchable text actually changes (not metadata-only updates)
CREATE TRIGGER documents_au AFTER UPDATE ON documents
WHEN old.title IS NOT new.title OR old.content_text != new.content_text
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO documents_fts(documents_fts, rowid, title, content_text)
  VALUES('delete', old.id, old.title, old.content_text);
  INSERT INTO documents_fts(rowid, title, content_text)
  VALUES (new.id, new.title, new.content_text);
END;

Acceptance Criteria:

documents_fts created as virtual table
Triggers fire on insert/update/delete
Update trigger only fires when title or content_text changes (not metadata-only updates)
FTS row count matches documents count after bulk insert
Prefix search works for type-ahead UX

1.3 Embeddings Schema (Migration 009)

File: migrations/009_embeddings.sql

-- NOTE: sqlite-vec vec0 virtual tables cannot participate in FK cascades.
-- We must use an explicit trigger to delete orphan embeddings when documents
-- are deleted. See documents_embeddings_ad trigger below.

-- sqlite-vec virtual table for vector search
-- Storage rule: embeddings.rowid = documents.id
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE embeddings USING vec0(
  embedding float[768]
);

-- Embedding provenance + change detection
CREATE TABLE embedding_metadata (
  document_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES documents(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
  model TEXT NOT NULL,           -- 'nomic-embed-text'
  dims INTEGER NOT NULL,         -- 768
  content_hash TEXT NOT NULL,    -- copied from documents.content_hash
  created_at INTEGER NOT NULL,   -- ms epoch UTC
  last_error TEXT,               -- error message from last failed attempt
  attempt_count INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
  last_attempt_at INTEGER        -- ms epoch UTC
);

CREATE INDEX idx_embedding_metadata_errors
  ON embedding_metadata(last_error) WHERE last_error IS NOT NULL;
CREATE INDEX idx_embedding_metadata_hash ON embedding_metadata(content_hash);

-- CRITICAL: Delete orphan embeddings when documents are deleted.
-- vec0 virtual tables don't support FK ON DELETE CASCADE, so we need this trigger.
-- embedding_metadata has ON DELETE CASCADE, so only vec0 needs explicit cleanup
CREATE TRIGGER documents_embeddings_ad AFTER DELETE ON documents BEGIN
  DELETE FROM embeddings WHERE rowid = old.id;
END;

Acceptance Criteria:

embeddings vec0 table created
embedding_metadata tracks provenance
Error tracking fields present for retry logic
Orphan cleanup trigger fires on document deletion

Dependencies:

Requires sqlite-vec extension loaded at runtime
Extension loading already happens in src/core/db.rs
Migration runner must load sqlite-vec before applying migrations (including on fresh DB)

2.2 Document Types

File: src/documents/extractor.rs

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use sha2::{Digest, Sha256};

/// Source type for documents.

    let mut sorted = items.to_vec();
    sorted.sort();
    let joined = sorted.join("\n");
    compute_content_hash(&joined)
}

Document Formats:

All document types use consistent header format for better search relevance and context:

Source	content_text
Issue	Structured header + description (see below)
MR	Structured header + description (see below)
Discussion	Full thread with header (see below)

Issue Document Format:

Acceptance Criteria:

Issue document: structured header with [[Issue]] prefix, project, URL, labels, state, author, then description
MR document: structured header with [[MergeRequest]] prefix, project, URL, labels, state, author, branches, then description
Discussion document: includes parent type+title, project, URL, labels, files, then thread
System notes (is_system=1) excluded from discussion content
DiffNote file paths extracted to paths vector
Labels extracted to labels vector
SHA-256 hash computed from content_text
Headers use consistent separator lines (--- Description ---, --- Thread ---)

2.3 Truncation Logic

File: src/documents/truncation.rs

/// Maximum content length (~8,000 tokens at 4 chars/token estimate).
pub const MAX_CONTENT_CHARS: usize = 32_000;

/// Truncation result with metadata.
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct TruncationResult {
    pub content: String,
    pub is_truncated: bool,
    pub reason: Option<TruncationReason>,
}

/// Reason for truncation.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum TruncationReason {
    TokenLimitMiddleDrop,
    SingleNoteOversized,
    FirstLastOversized,
}

impl TruncationReason {
    pub fn as_str(&self) -> &'static str {
        match self {
            Self::TokenLimitMiddleDrop => "token_limit_middle_drop",
            Self::SingleNoteOversized => "single_note_oversized",
            Self::FirstLastOversized => "first_last_oversized",
        }
    }
}

/// Truncate content at note boundaries.
///
/// Rules:
/// - Max content: 32,000 characters
/// - Truncate at NOTE boundaries (never mid-note)
/// - Preserve first N notes and last M notes
/// - Drop from middle, insert marker
pub fn truncate_content(notes: &[NoteContent], max_chars: usize) -> TruncationResult {
    // Implementation handles edge cases per table below
    todo!()
}

/// Note content for truncation.
pub struct NoteContent {
    pub author: String,
    pub date: String,
    pub body: String,
}

Edge Cases:

Scenario	Handling
Single note > 32000 chars	Truncate at char boundary, append `[truncated]`, reason = `single_note_oversized`
First + last note > 32000	Keep only first note (truncated if needed), reason = `first_last_oversized`
Only one note	Truncate at char boundary if needed

Acceptance Criteria:

Notes never cut mid-content
First and last notes preserved when possible
Truncation marker \n\n[... N notes omitted for length ...]\n\n inserted
Metadata fields set correctly
Edge cases handled per table above

2.4 CLI: `gi generate-docs` (Incremental by Default)

}

Acceptance Criteria:

Creates document for each issue
Creates document for each MR
Creates document for each discussion
Default mode processes dirty_sources queue only (incremental)
--full regenerates all documents from scratch
--full uses chunked transactions (2k docs/tx) to bound WAL growth
Final FTS rebuild after all chunks complete
Progress bar in human mode (via indicatif)
JSON output in robot mode

Acceptance Criteria:

Porter stemming works (search/searching match)
Prefix search works (type-ahead UX): auth* returns results starting with "auth"
Empty query returns empty results
Nonsense query returns empty results
Special characters in query don't cause FTS5 syntax errors (-, ", :, *)
Query "-DWITH_SSL" returns results (not treated as NOT operator)
Query C++ returns results (special chars preserved)
Safe mode preserves trailing * on alphanumeric tokens
Raw mode (--fts-mode=raw) passes query through unchanged

Supported filters:

Filter	SQL Column	Notes
`--type`	`source_type`	`issue`, `mr`, `discussion`
`--author`	`author_username`	Exact match
`--project`	`project_id`	Resolve path to ID
`--after`	`created_at`	`>= date` (ms epoch)
`--label`	`document_labels`	JOIN, multiple = AND
`--path`	`document_paths`	JOIN, trailing `/` = prefix
`--limit`	N/A	Default 20, max 100

Acceptance Criteria:

Each filter correctly restricts results
Multiple --label flags use AND logic
Path prefix vs exact match works correctly
Filters compose (all applied together)
Ranking order preserved after filtering (ORDER BY position)
Limit clamped to valid range [1, 100]
Default limit is 20 when not specified
JSON1 json_each() correctly expands document IDs

#[derive(Args)]
pub struct StatsArgs {
    /// Run integrity checks (document/FTS/embedding consistency)
    #[arg(long)]
    check: bool,

    /// Repair issues found by --check (deletes orphaned embeddings, clears stale metadata)
    #[arg(long, requires = "check")]

}

Acceptance Criteria:

Shows document counts by type
Shows embedding coverage
Shows FTS index count
Identifies truncated documents
Shows queue depths (dirty_sources, pending_discussion_fetches)
Shows failed item counts for each queue
--check verifies document/FTS/embedding consistency
--repair fixes orphaned embeddings, stale metadata, missing FTS entries

Acceptance Criteria:

Documents in both lists score higher
Documents in one list still included
Normalized score = rrfScore / max(rrfScore)
Raw RRF score available in --explain output

Adaptive recall prevents "no results" under heavy filtering

5.4 Graceful Degradation

When Ollama unavailable during hybrid/semantic search:

Fall back to FTS-only search
Include warning in response

Acceptance Criteria:

Default mode is hybrid
--mode=lexical works without Ollama
--mode=semantic requires Ollama
Graceful degradation when Ollama down
--explain shows rank breakdown

`gi embed` (re-run)	0 embedded	Skips unchanged
`gi embed --retry-failed`	Processes failed	Only failed docs processed
`gi stats`	Coverage stats	Shows 100% after embed
`gi stats`	Queue depths	Shows dirty_sources and pending_discussion_fetches counts
`gi search "auth" --mode=lexical`	Results	Works without Ollama
`gi search "auth"`	Hybrid results	Vector + FTS combined
`gi search "auth"` (Ollama down)	FTS results + warning	Graceful degradation, warning in response

`gi search "auth" --type=mrs`	Filtered results	Alias works
`gi search "auth" --label=bug`	Filtered results	Only labeled docs
`gi search "-DWITH_SSL"`	Results	Leading dash doesn't cause FTS error

Data Integrity Checks

documents count = issues + MRs + discussions
documents_fts count = documents count
embeddings count = documents count (after full embed)
embedding_metadata.content_hash = documents.content_hash for all rows
All document_labels reference valid documents
All document_paths reference valid documents
No orphaned embeddings (embeddings.rowid without matching documents.id)
Discussion documents exclude system notes
Discussion documents include parent title
All dirty_sources entries reference existing source entities
All pending_discussion_fetches entries reference existing projects
attempt_count >= 0 for all queue entries (never negative)
last_attempt_at is NULL when attempt_count = 0

Success Criteria

Checkpoint 3 is complete when:

Lexical search works without Ollama
- gi search "query" --mode=lexical returns relevant results
- All filters functional
- FTS5 syntax errors prevented by query sanitization
- Special characters in queries work correctly (-DWITH_SSL, C++)
Semantic search works with Ollama
- gi embed completes successfully
- gi search "query" returns semantically relevant results
- --explain shows ranking breakdown
Hybrid search combines both
- Documents appearing in both retrievers rank higher
- Graceful degradation when Ollama unavailable (falls back to FTS)
- Transient embed failures don't fail the entire search
- Warning message included in response on degradation
Incremental sync is efficient
- gi sync only processes changed entities
- Re-embedding only happens for changed documents
- Progress visible during long syncs
- Queue backoff prevents hot-loop retries on persistent failures
Data integrity maintained
- All counts match between tables
- No orphaned records
- Hashes consistent
- get_existing_hash() properly distinguishes "not found" from DB errors
Observability
- gi stats shows queue depths and failed item counts
- Failed items visible for operator intervention
- Deterministic ordering ensures consistent paging
Tests pass
- Unit tests for core algorithms (including FTS sanitization, backoff)
- Integration tests for pipelines
- Golden queries return expected results
